The flowrator (piston-style metering device) inlet tube carries liquid refrigerant into the metering orifice that feeds the evaporator coil. A damaged, corroded, or restricted inlet tube can disrupt refrigerant flow, hurting cooling capacity and efficiency. This exact-fit tube restores proper refrigerant delivery during coil or metering-device service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Flowrator inlet tube (refrigerant metering)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunction: Liquid refrigerant feed to the flowrator\/piston\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: Goodman ARUF018-00A-1 air handler coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: OEM-spec copper tubing assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM Part Number: B1796630\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOEM vs. Generic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eOEM B1796630\u003c\/strong\u003e matches the exact diameter, length, and fitting required to seat correctly against the flowrator body, ensuring a leak-free brazed connection.
